USA’s Burn Notice was up a tenth versus last week to a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating, and Suits also jumped a tenth to a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating. Both shows gained ground on History’s Swamp People, but could not top its a 1.6 rating with adults 18-49 (down a tenth vs. last week).

FX’s Wilfred was down 30% from last week to a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating,. Louie dropped two-tenths from last week to a 0.5 adults 18-49 rating.

Comedy Central’s Futurama was down another two-tenths to a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating. Real Housewives of NYC was steady vs. last week to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating. Not in the table below, but Ugly Americans scored a 0.5 rating with adults 18-49 and 980,000 viewers, steady vs. last week with adults 18-49.

USA’s Burn Notice fell 0.4 with adults 18-49 from its premiere last week to a 1.3 rating, and Suits also slumped 0.4 to a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating. The broadcast networks were all down ahead of the holiday weekend too, so that’s not a big surprise. Perhaps it is more surprising that History’s Swamp People did not suffer a pre-holiday slump and averaged a 1.7 with adults 18-49, same as last week.

FX’s Wilfred was down 20% from its premiere to a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating, though with combined telecasts FX reports it was only down 8% versus last week with adults 18-49. Louie dropped a tenth from its premiere to a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating.

Comedy Central’s Futurama was down two-tenths to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating. Real Housewives of NYC was also down a tenth vs. last week to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating.

The return of USA’s Burn Notice tied History’s Swamp People in cable originals on Thursday night with a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating.

Suits debuted well to a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating and 4.636 million viewers. Despite a middling draft class, the NBA Draft still pulled a 1.5 rating on ESPN, its best ratings since 2007.

FX’s Wilfred debuted as the highest-rated comedy premiere ever for FX with a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating and 2.553 million viewers. Louie returned up scoring a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating and 1.569 million viewers.

Comedy Central’s Futurama returned to a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating for each of its half hour episodes.

History’s Swamp People towered over the cable originals on Thursday night with a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating, and its 4.465 million average viewers was a series high. That was up 0.2 from the last new episode I’ve got in late May. Presumably boosted by Swamp People, Mounted In Alaska scored a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating.

Real Housewives of NYC was down a tenth vs. last week to a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating.

TLC’s NY Ink registered a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating.

Watch What Happens Live and First 48 Missing Persons both drew a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating each was down a tenth from last week.

If we see additional ratings from @TravisYanan, I will post them below.

All numbers below are Live+SD (same day DVR viewing up to 3am after telecast)

The Rangers beatdown of the New York Yankees in game four of the ALCS on TBS led all cable last night with 9.8 million viewers and a 3.3 adults 18-49 rating (trailing only CBS for the night). As I write this, the Yankees are up in game 5 by a score of 5-1 in the 5th inning. If that score holds up that’s great news for TBS as it would ensure at least a six game series. If the Yankees lose game 5, the series is over.

A Teen Mom special was way off the 3.2 adults 18-49 rating last week’s finale scored, but the special’s 2.1 rating with adults 18-49 still led all cable other than the Yankees/Rangers game.

Sons of Anarchydropped to a 1.3 rating. And no, it can’t be because of the Dish network situation. The drop a few weeks ago from a 1.8 to a 1.6 might be attributable to that, but it pulled a couple of 1.6 ratings after FX was pulled off of Dish. I’d chalk more of it up to the Yankees game. Interesting tweeting from Sutter on how S3 of SOA resonates with the female critics but has alienated the male critics.

If that’s going on in the general population of viewers too, that’s not great news since FX has always touted SOA’s strength with younger males. There are no worries for the fans since SOA has already been renewed for a fourth season, but it might lead to some interesting discussions between Sutter and FX between seasons three and four. And it sounds like he’s already hearing from FX more than he wants.

While SOA fans don’t have to worry about next season, SGU and Caprica fans are already behind the worrying curve if they are just starting to worry now.

Teen Mom kept pace with last week pulling another 2.4 ratings with adults 18-49 to lead all of cable in that demographic.

Sons of Anarchy was flat at a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating, the same as last week (though outside of the rounded ratings, it was actually up 4% with adults 18-49). Two weeks ago, it was a 1.8, but there wasn’t any more ratings deterioration as a result of Fox pulling its cable channels off of Dish Network (I know, I know, “but it would’ve shot back up to a 1.8 or higher if Dish hadn’t have pulled it!”). I’m looking forward to next week’s episode…

Caprica made its return last night and so far Tuesdays aren’t any fun. Caprica pulled a 0.4 with adults 18-49 and less than 900,000 viewers. Stargate Universe shed a few viewers but held steady with a 0.5 adults 18-49 rating.

Teen Mom dropped 0.2 with adults 18-49 versus last week, but still led all of cable in that demographic. Sons of Anarchy rode to the same 1.8 adults 18-49 rating it grabbed last week, though it had more viewers of all ages last night than last week.

We already posted about the season two finale of Warehouse 13, but it was up a few viewers but down a tenth with adults 18-49 to a 0.8 rating. (Note: originally I’d written that W13 was up a tenth this week, I apologize for the confusion).

Nielsen is still digging out from the holiday, but hopefully everything will be all caught up later today. We posted about the White Collar, Covert Affairs, and Sons of Anarchy ratings yesterday, but MTV’s Teen Mom was Tuesday’s star ratings-wise increasing from a 1.8 rating with adults 18-49 last week to a 2.3 rating Tuesday night and nearly 4 million viewers. It was also massive with women 18-34 with a 5.7 rating.

That makes the CW’s premieres for America’s Top Model and Hellcats which each scored a 2.1 rating with women 18-34 (final numbers) on Wednesday night seem pretty tiny.

After dropping noticeably in its third week, Melissa & Joey stabilized with nearly identical ratings as last week.

After dropping 450,000 viewers and 0.2 ratings points with adults 18-49 from the previous week last week Warehouse 13 stabilized this week. Not dropping is better than continuing to drop, but being down and staying down isn’t great news. Sophomore slump?

Hawthorne has been a bit up and down. This week down ~300,000 viewers and 0.1 adults 18-49 ratings points.
